You idiots still don’t understand how he operates.

Trump going back on his TikTok ban


Just like with the H1Bs, I'm glad he finally got it right.

This is what Trump does. Responses will be predictable.



I think it was simply he was popular on it and Biden wasn’t.

I don’t care either way, I just don’t use it. But I said this at the time it was more a win the election thing why he changed his mind. And he won the election.

What's your fave Death Wish film? Part 3 is HILARIOUS, love it. Others ok, never did finish watching Death Wish 4 The Crackdown. But, really. Part 3 is GREAT entertainment. For the record.

I could not care less about Tic Tok, but it's a treat watching Trumpkins make excuses for Trump. Please continue.

You damn idiots don’t even know what the hell you’re talking about. He has never said he wants the app banned per se. It’s the ownership by Chinese government that he (and many other reasonable people) take issue with. “Fix” that issue and he has no further problem with the app competing in the U.S. market.


I believe you're correct, it was always about getting the CCP out of ownership.

In my personal opinion TikTok doesn’t matter. People will get the same content elsewhere. Reels algo is better imo too.

Not a tiktok user but a coworker said he had to give it access to his keyboard to run it. He then closed the app and sent his son a text about something weird like swaybar bushings on an AMC Gremlin. He cranked tik tok back up and suddenly he's seeing videos about gremlins so it's capturing keystrokes when it's not even running. He just shrugged and kept using it but that's a hard no for me. Not to say ban it. I really don't care either way

I've read that Tik Tok had a lot of stuff making fun of Dems that had an influence on Gen Z voting for Trump.

He operates by listening to the last person who has his ear. Thats why populism drifts left and right.
